SALT LAKE CITY — As the regular season comes to a close, University of Utah sophomore Jakob Poeltl is likely to be playing his last game at the Huntsman Center Saturday.

Although not surprising to anyone who has watched his game this season, Poeltl told media Thursday he was "leaning" on declaring for the NBA draft after the season was over.

"The way it looks right now, I'm thinking about going to the draft," he said. "I'm not going to make a final decision until the season is over. All I can tell you right now is I'm leaning towards it.
